Episode 6 - The Gift of Finding Your Voice

Gifts in Strange Wrapping Paper

Kelly explores the transformative journey of finding and owning one’s voice. She reflects on her struggles growing up as a middle child in a loving yet hardworking family, where she often felt loved but not truly understood. Like many women, Kelly fell into people-pleasing patterns, struggling to speak up, and feeling unheard despite her efforts.

Through personal anecdotes, she shares how her belief that she wasn’t "smart enough" led her to compare herself to others—particularly her academically gifted sister. These deep-seated insecurities followed her into adulthood, affecting her career and personal relationships. She recounts moments in her professional life when she had innovative ideas but held back, waiting for validation from others—only to see those ideas recognized months later when presented by someone else.

Kelly's turning point came when she attended a personal development seminar, where she learned about personal leadership—a mindset shift that changed everything. Instead of playing the roles of victim, martyr, or villain in life’s challenges, she realized she had the power to reframe her beliefs, take ownership of her experiences, and shift her perspective.

One of the most profound lessons she shares is that our biggest struggles often carry hidden gifts. She illustrates this through her own journey and through stories of clients who, after facing hardship, discovered their strength and resilience.

Kelly encourages listeners to challenge limiting beliefs, embrace their natural talents, and start speaking up—one step at a time. She reminds us that we are not waiting for permission to be heard; we already have everything we need within us.

Key Takeaways:

• Your struggles shape your strengths – The challenges you face can become the foundation of your greatest growth.
• Comparison is a thief of confidence – Your unique journey and skills matter, even if they look different from others.
• Personal leadership changes everything – Instead of waiting for approval, step into your power and take action.
• Your voice is valuable – Speak up, practice, and trust that you have something important to share.
• Growth starts with small steps – Begin with easier conversations and gradually build confidence in expressing yourself.

Kelly wraps up with an invitation to reflect on a past challenge that shaped you and to start practicing the art of speaking up. She reminds listeners that,
